The owner of the company that transported Florida A&M University band members says the driver did not hear or see any commotion on the bus before drum major Robert Champion collapsed and died after an apparent act of hazing.

Ray Land, president of Fabulous Coach Lines, says his company has transported the "Marching 100" to many games and never had any incidents of hazing or inappropriate conduct on the buses.

Land told The Associated Press Thursday the driver transported Champion and other band members back from their game to the Orlando hotel where they were staying the night. She was helping students unload their instruments when Champion collapsed.

He said the driver is shaken up over what occurred and that their experience with the band has always been positive.
